One explanation for this sequence structure is that the transcripts were polyadenylated at the same location, and the polyadenylation signal mutated beyond recognition after the insertion event occurred; interestingly, Ovchinnikov et al . reported that polyadenylation signals tend to degrade rapidly after L1 insertion [ 44 ] .
